Q: Regarding masturbation, how often does one engage to where it is healthy? Does it differ for men and women?

A: Great questions! Masturbation is a normal and healthy activity for both men and women. Some men and women masturbate once a week, others masturbate several times a day. However, it becomes unhealthy if it is done compulsively to the point that it is causing you physical pain or it’s interfering with your daily activities. Meaning if you are masturbating compulsively instead of going to work or school, or if it’s interfering or causing significant problems in your relationships, then it’s unhealthy.

Does it dffer between men and women? It truly depends on the person’s sexual desire. Hope that helps!
